The record
Gospel tunes get a soul-jazz reworking here, Hancock's spare chords cushioning lines that trace old melodies with quiet reverence. Four musicians finding sanctified feeling without ever raising their voices.

Pressings
The earliest pressing on file here is the 1963 mono, BLP 4132, with a deep groove, an RVG stamp and a Plastylite ear on a New York label. The 1963 stereo, BST 84132, carries the same three markers plus a laminated sleeve. A 1966 stereo reissue still shows a deep groove and an RVG stamp, so the groove alone will not date a copy; from 1968 the markers stop. The 1977 Japanese LNJ-80147 is the clean budget option.
Showing the first pressing, audiophile reissues and copies carrying a collector marker, out of 42 pressings on file.
